Not exactly on topic, but does anyone know of a listing of available QAM tuner HDTVs? It doesn’t seem to be something they use in their descriptions.

I haven’t seen a list, but I have heard they existed :-)! The problem in my area with QAM tuners in HDTVs is that my local cable company told me that using a cablecard is illegal (they had no idea what they were talking about)??? I know some areas will provide this and you actually save a few $$$ since you do not have lease a box.

You can get QAM tuners for PCs, but they’re virtually useless w/o the cablecard. You probably know this though.

Does your cable provider offer you this service? If so, where are you :-)!

I saw one 6-8 months ago at BestBuy. I want to think it was a Sharp or a Sammie ... small set, maybe 25-27".

They've pretty much disappeared from the marketplace since then ... a lot of pressure from the cable companies I was told.
